Jackie Searl's first
movie role was in "Tom Sawyer," with Jackie Coogan and
Mitzi Green. His shenanigans on the screen as "the
snitching sissy" and "sandbox Attila" caused many
critics of the day to marvel. He was adroit in his sense
of timing and could steal a scene with such ease that many adult
stars would refuse to play opposite him. Off stage, he was a
clean-cut, almost shy boy. As an adult, he appeared in many
movies and on TV. His last name is sometimes misspelled Searle.
